The bill of this hotel and charges are not clear at check in and at check out. I selected pay at check in. But my card had a hold prior to checking in. They have no concierge. If the bell boys order a taxi for you, there is an extra charge just for calling a taxi. I suggest using UBER. Breakfast is over priced. Room was clean and spacious.

The rooftop view was great! The pool/patio chair situation was limited and often challenging to secure if you weren’t there super early. Overall the hotel and its staff were nice and friendly but for the cost, I didn’t align with the value

The location of the pool, restaurant and bar are outstanding with lots of space and great views of the Acropolis. Staff were all very helpful going so far as to walk outside and make sure I was going in the right direction! Beds were comfortable, AC was great; WiFi was great; bathroom was clean and spacious. No view but we liked room 664!

We stayed at The Stanley in Athens and appreciated its convenient location—just a short walk to the metro, which made it easy to get around the city. One of the highlights was the rooftop pool and restaurant, which offered an amazing view of the Acropolis—especially beautiful at night. Breakfast was included and featured a generous buffet with plenty of options. Our room was quite small and unfortunately had a view of a wall, which was a bit disappointing. However, it was clean and had everything we needed for a short stay. Overall, The Stanley is a solid option if you’re looking for a clean, centrally located hotel with great rooftop views and easy access to public transportation.

I can’t beleive expedia promotos this hotel as one of the best hotels in Athens. Area was unsafe and full of homeless people. Room was smaller than a tent and bathroom door needs to be open in order to go into shower. Hotel staff was also very rude and treat the guest as they are there for free food. Terrible experience and will check other options next time instead of expedia!
